Sibbeston goes independent

NWT Senator Nick Sibbeston has quit the Senate Liberal caucus to sit as an independent for the remainder of his term.

He made the announcement in a news release yesterday. Even though Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expelled 32 Liberal senators from the Liberal caucus in 2014 before he became PM, Sibbeston said they were still independent Senate Liberals. He has now given that up all together and will sit as an independent with no party affiliation whatsoever.
